Abstract

The main problem of this research is to find out the meaning of coins for the people in Tarempa Village, Anambas Regency. In trading activities that occur in people's daily lives, the use of money is the most important thing. For most members of the community, money in any form will be valued and accepted in buying and selling transactions. However, this does not apply to the people of Anambas Regency, including those in Tarempa Village, as they refuse to use coins in their transactions. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach and collected data through interviews, observation, and documentation. The informants were selected using purposive sampling technique based on predetermined criteria. The data obtained were analyzed and conclusions were drawn. The results of the study indicate that people in Tarempa Village interpret coins as a form of money that is worthless, and therefore have no value in everyday transactions. Based on the theory of symbolic interactionism, this meaning can arise because of the exchange of symbols that occur. This act of refusal is the community's response to the given stimulus based on their habit.

Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of make-up Sales Promotion Girls (SPGs) in Tanjungpinang City, Riau Islands. These SPGs are commonly found in supermarkets, shops, and crowded areas, promoting various make-up brands. In this current trend, SPGs no longer work alone but instead rely on intermediaries, such as fellow SPGs and friends, to expand their merchandise and reach their sales targets. They collect customers' mobile numbers to promote new products via WhatsApp and distribute brochures while explaining the benefits of their products and offering special discounts. This qualitative descriptive research employed the theory of Fukuyama (2002) and used five informants to investigate the social network of SPGs in Tanjungpinang. The study found that SPGs formed a social network based on family lines, friendships, and fellow SPGs. This network initially served as an economic network and later expanded into a social network, where members cooperate to achieve mutual benefits. The existence of social networks in economic life creates behavioral attachments in interactions or social relations. The informants' values served as rules that must be obeyed to achieve cooperation within the community.

Abstract

This study focuses on the issue of child stunting in Pinang Kencana Village, East Tanjungpinang, Indonesia. One of the main causes of stunting is improper parenting due to a lack of knowledge regarding children's health patterns and weak parenting practices. In addition, there is a lack of supervision from health authorities which results in ineffective handling of stunting cases. The study employs a descriptive qualitative research method and uses Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckman's theories to understand the social constructs surrounding stunting. The findings suggest that continuous efforts are needed to interpret and cultivate meaning in order to address the issue of stunting.

Abstract

Land conflicts are often encountered in both urban and rural areas, accompanied by their diversity. For example, conflicts between the community and developers from a private company with the initials PT NSA, as well as local governments who participate in supporting the road function conversion that occurred in Sungai Langkai Sub-district, RT002/RW007, Batam City. The land problem resulted in changes in road access function that did not comply with the site plan in that area. This conversion led the community to take various rejection actions to maintain the function of the roadside in accordance with the established land rules for the comfort of their living environment. This study aims to determine the demands made by the community to maintain the function of the roadside. The data collection techniques used in this study were structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. This study uses Lewis Alfred Coser's theory which views conflicts not only as negative but also positive. The findings of this study describe negative impacts. In addition, conflicts also have positive impacts on community groups in carrying out their demands, such as building stronger solidarity by holding meetings to determine the strategies to be taken and the spirit of the residents to help each other, whether in the form of money, time, or transportation.

Abstract

Gambling is becoming a common phenomenon in daily life, particularly among children who have been exposed to mobile devices through online learning. Online gambling has become a habit even after the shift to face-to-face learning, leading to addiction among students. This study employs a review of social behavior to identify the causes of online gambling addiction in children at Rejai Middle School using qualitative research with a descriptive design. The results reveal that self-desire is a major factor causing addiction, with students seeking to acquire chips that can be exchanged for money to alleviate boredom. Socialization agents also play a role, with students influenced by peers who win and receive benefits from online gambling, and feel inferior when they do not participate. Mass media also contributes to addiction, with online advertisements and information available through the internet. Environmental factors, such as access to online gambling facilities and lack of monitoring, and family factors, such as parents' lack of monitoring and siblings' participation, also contribute to addiction. The loose school factor also impacts addiction, as schools do not strictly prohibit access to online gaming.
